Before hiring Neginet, our ecommerce site was built inhouse and it did not allow multiple stocks, currencies, nor languages. We then decided to migrate to a more stable and proven ecommerce solution like Magento but it became extremely hard for us to find good reliable and affordable developers to help us with it. We were lucky to find a provider like Neginet, that helped us to grow our team with 3 external full time Magento developers.

The new ecommerce site had to allow multiple stocks from our different warehouses spread across the world, and should also enable multiple currencies, payment methods, tax rules and be multi-site (and therefore multi-language) to allow different visitors from different countries see different products that were available and specifics to their locations. We also wanted the site to have a personalized look and feel and to be seamless and neat. We did not want to use the same template that other websites and had our designers create a brand new unique UI for us, which was templated and integrated with Magento by Neginet.

SOLUTION

We compared their rates, experience and size to other vendors and decided to go with them. They worked in the EST timezone, presented candidates with awesome resumes and experience and asked for competitive rates. On top of that, we spoke to the founders on a monthly basis, and they were always flexible to changes we needed to make to our roadmap.

They deployed a Magento instance into AWS from the scratch and did all the initial setup required to have an ecommerce site up and running. Then they templated the mockups our designers provided them with and made sure the user experience matched our expectations. This required some iterations as we discovered that many of the animations or effects had not been defined by us in the first place, so they were open to changes and proactively made suggestions or gave us ideas to use UI elements we had not even considered.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Within 3 months, the site was published and working and after that they started working on improving SEO, latency and adding new features that were specific to our business and product and adding more value than we had originally expected within the window of time set at the beginning of the project.

Clients have full ownership of their product, so no time is lost discussing change requirements or re estimating budgets or scope. These developers felt like OUR developers and they perfectly fitted our company culture. The project management was also a complement but did not become a bottleneck, as we had direct contact with the developers and were able to assign tasks to them directly without any man in the middle.
